“Cinder”

Track Notes:
One day the sun will expand into a red giant. Sounds like a good excuse to have a party.

Recording/Mixing:
A basic format: a drum line, congas, bass, sax and two guitars – plus a handful of explosions, crashes and other random things that go “boom”.

The rhythm guitar line was recorded in two track stereo. I mixed one side with a touch of distortion and put it in the centre channel. The other track was sent to the DL4 delay and placed on the left channel. The output from the DL4 goes to ADA 2.56i, set to a tight flange, and the ADA output goes to the right channel. This widened the sound out.

There are about 6 vocal tracks. The main one and 5 backup “shouty” tracks.

The main vocals are overcompressed and sent through an amp simulator.

A special thanks to Katherina Sophia for coming in and helping with the backup vocals.
